hey Chris/efron_241, thanks for asking me to do a 911 picture... I've looked all over the net this last decade for the image of the devil I saw, haven't found it, so when you asked me to do an image, I went picture shopping, still didn't find the image I'm looking for, so I created it... I'm semi pleased with it... I only have about an hour of actual design time into it.... I think I'm going to take that upon myself to make that image more of a masterpiece - so it may be a piece of mine that survives the longest - it looks ok.... I want to make it look great - you suggesting I do something started this process, thank you.

...............I received a sitemail from: Meisiekind ............... Hi there I agree with you that 9/11 changed the world as we knew it. Indeed a black day in history. I am just enquiring as to where you obtained the main image from. Was it a stock site? We are just a little concerned regarding a possible copyright violation. I would appreciate it if you could let me know. Kind regards Carin Forum Moderator ...........the is my response........ the photo I used came from an email that I saved the picture from... it has been changed and altered - the face of the devil I PAINTED and put it in with the picture. The smoke and the buildings themselves have been altered too..... so, if you're wondering about the devil face, and the image being copy righted - no it's not.... and no, I'm not selling it, I basically made this image because I was asked to upload something about 911.... IF you wanted to sell it, I would want to change a few things - basically, I did this with in an hour so I could post.... I would like to go back and work on it - maybe you'll see a much better image of this next year in my gallery.... oh and the 911 over the 666 was my idea too - I created it. feel free to leave a comment and fave next time Peace, Mike

WELL DONE...Did you see CNN (US EMBASSY in LYBIA are on fire and many american dead) !

Excellent work Mike and a great tribute to such a terrible day and no doubt it was and is still the face of evil I woke about 9 o'clock as a friend of mine called me from New York and lived a few blocks away from the twin towers he was already down there they had given him a helmet and a fireman's jacket and he started picking up body parts. He called me to tell me to turn the TV on and it was a mess. A few months ago another friend of mine called me to tell me the same person committed suicide over something very stupid. I still think that he was haunted from day one of being there seeing the carnage great tribute Mike great job

This is one great and powerfull tribute Mike, we will never forget this horror day.

Very powerful image. Great work.

Great work on this Awesome but terrible scene!!! agree erland

Powerful creation Mike!!!

Powerful tribute Mike, we can never forget, hugs Jane xx

I have no doubt the devil was there that day. this image is powerful and strong and we will never forget.

...............I received a sitemail from: Meisiekind ............... Hi Mike I am not sure you understood what I meant. The main image was obtained from the Internet. I have found at least three hits of the exact same main image on the Internet. This means that the main image may be copyrighted. If it is copyrighted you are not allowed to use or re-produce it in any way. I therefore need you to please send me proof that the main image you have used is not copyrighted. Many thanks Carin

.......My Response.............. from what I understand about copyright, this image was changed - the flame area was changed.... you want to talk to me about copyright? I know several artists here you are making money off of that are in clear violation of copy right and you are making money from it - YOU ARE GOING TO GET SUED OVER IT - EVENTUALLY - BECAUSE YOU ARE MAKING MONEY OFF OF IT .... I am not making money off of this - this is your typical "fan Art" .... I created it.... if I seem a little upset, I am, I am very much into the community here and have been for 6 years... listen... anyone here that does an image of 911 have all used images that are taken by photographers of that time - the artist didn't take those pictures.... They post images without changing them - I clearly have changed the image..... look, I have had the vision of the devil in the fire for over a decade - I can't find it.... I finally painted it to ask people if they have images or video similar.... If you feel I am in copyright violation and you remove this picture - I will leave the community here - I am very upset that you allow friends of mine here to break copyright laws so you can make money selling their models - it's not right - they are going to get in trouble and you have the nerve to come to me and question my art??? IF YOU REMOVE MY IMAGE, I WILL REMOVE MYSELF FROM RENDEROSITY - IT'S UP TO YOU. I'm not selling my art, it is a gift to the community on a tragic event... I created it - sorry you don't like it.... IF YOU NEED ME TO COLLECT INFO ON YOUR COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS, AND PROVE THEM TO YOU, I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO - YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT LAWS, AND IT SCARES ME BECAUSE I LOVE THIS PLACE AND YOU COULD BE SHUT DOWN OVER IT.

Brutal. And now they mindlessly attack our embassies. I'm thinking, if they really don't want our help, maybe we should leave them to their own devices. They can find another scapegoat for the situation their own governments have put them in. Frustration and outrage at disgusting troublemakers of ridiculous movies does not justify this kind of violence and murder.

I hear you Mike!!

OMG .. I saw face too! You captured a remarkably vivid version of that face. awesome work and awesome results based on just your memory .. how deeply that must have been etched into your brain. I remember I was up and about the house when my phone rang and a friend told me to go turn my tv on .. when I asked her why she said just go turn it on .. and Oh My God .. I could not believe what I was seeing .. and then they hit the second the tower ..... and the pentagon .. and the battle on the fourth plane over Pennsylvania, and the crash .....

splendide scène bravo

Bad and Sad memories for sure. Aloha

......SITE MAIL FROM Jumpstartme2....... Hi Mike, I know there has been an issue regarding your image "The Devil Exposed" as a possible copyright violation. I wanted to let you know that after more discussions with staff that this image most likely came from a news source and not an individual photographer so Im thinking this most likely isn't a copyright issue, and your image will be allowed to stay. If anything changes, I will let you know, but as far as it is 'now', there is not a problem with your image. Hope this helps, and thanks for your patience. Thanks, Jani Renderosity Community Admin .......My Response ........... Thank you, the image means a lot to me. Peace, Mike

A great image and dedi to all that died that day Mike. My father-in-law thought that he saw the face of evil and said that it was the beginning of the end for the human race!

Hey thanks for the kind words on my recent pic. I have been off the site for a while, as you pointed out, but I have been very busy with video and photography. In the last year I worked on Top Chef Masters, Hell's Kitchen, The Pauly D Project and Gigolos, as well as my own productions which are to come out over the next few months. Yeah, I am working on some more 3D images too, so stand by... The day before the planes hit, by brother in law flew in from out of country - without any ID or passport - but like people have asserted, immigration was standing down and they waived him on board the plane anyway. The next morning we saw the same things you did, live on TV. Two weeks later, by brother in law left the country, and was again waived on board without any ID. So it's true they were intentionally letting people before and after this terrible event. I didn't see the devil in the flames, but as events in the last week have unfolded and America being targeted for destruction because of a crappy movie trailer (I watched the whole thing) by people who can't SPELL "movie", I see your image as apt commentary on today as well. We need to keep in mind who we are dealing with, and act appropriately.

This is so great made Mike..the Devils face is evil..awesome work..!!

Like you, I've noticed your name and avatar in the comments on many of the pictures I look at and have never took time to look at your gallery. Sorry I took so long. This is exceptional on an emotional level as well as artistic... I have seen the clip of that video as well, but can't recall where. It might have been on the Jeff Rense site. I am glad I found your work... looking forward to seeing lots more. Seth

Awesome artwork Mike, we will never forget that day.

...ciò che vorrei veramente sapere è:ha una nazionalità certa questo diavolo? Un ottimo lavoro,come sempre. :)
